Women of Circumstance

These are the faces of women from the 20th century whose life and death pulled me to investigate their influence and legacy further. These women experienced adversities like mental illness, persecution and misogyny. Although each woman’s story is unique, they all can be seen as victims of circumstance, undeservedly caught up in the issues of their time. The depiction of these women is an act of remembrance. The way they lived and died owes their memory a moment of respect and reflection.
